[quote=ynwtf]better than my earlier idea of pouring half a bag of sugar into her car's fuel line. =\

thanks for keeping me on the side of good! well, on the side of maybe better than I would be on my own.

[quote=Rockatansky]What I can suggest is ask her to leave the questions until the end...and then deliberately time your training session so there's no time for questions. :D

Okay, maybe don't do the second part.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf][quote=Chypmunk]Really not sure "[i]weasel out of[/i]" was the best phrase to use there given who you were talking to ;)[/quote]

HA!

[quote=ynwtf]Reasonable to ask, but when her question is addressed and it's noted that it's fine for the sake of this project to move on, she digs in, I mean.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]She's smart. And quick, actually. I'm not sure where the disconnect is, but she seems eager even. Maybe she's just stumbling over herself trying to get to her perceived finish line. Doing so, she's missing the details of the lesson that I'm trying to demonstrate. It's really strange to me. Her personality is  very much to explore things. And honestly, I have no problem with the questions she asks. In fact, her question was reasonable and, in other specific contexts, might even be something I would chase too. But right now, it is not. She digs in with that and seems to struggle shelving some ideas for the same of the lesson. It's strange.[/quote]

[quote=Rockatansky][quote=ynwtf]Doing more training this week. One keeps asking all these questions that are completely irrelevant to the lesson at hand. I keep trying to provide context as to when it would be more reasonable to take on what she's asking, but in this specific case it is not. That we need to focus on this contract's needs. but OMG she keeps interrupting and pushing saying "if it was her document, then it needs to be fixed." Cool. Not ur doc tho? "So you're telling me that if the client saw this, they would accept it?" Yes. THIS client, yes. Besides, if you fix X assuming what you're finding is actually a problem, then you create two new problems. There are contexts to how and why we do things. "NO! I think it should be like this." I had to, after the third effort, just tell her that her concern doesn't matter. The task at hand is this alone. "No, you're not talking with me. This is supposed to be a conversation. You're talking AT me. I'm done. Bye." Then she put on her headphones.

I'm not sure this one is going to make it.[/quote]
In my experience, questions like that are usually a tactic to weasel out of the training.[/quote]
